CHICAGO, July 2,-There were but six
men in the jury box in the great Doodle
case this morning out Of total Of seventy
four examined.
The first thing Judge Jameson did was
to send one of them home, a Mr.. Luby,
who is of the three who have been ac-
cepted by both sides. Mr.. Luby was
taken i'll during the night with delirious
attack and was too sick to remain in court.
The Judge called him up to the bench and
instructed him not to permit any person
to talk to him about the case or read news
paper reports concerning it. He was given
until Tuesday morning to recover his
health and return to'court
There were q number Of vacant seats in
the defendants box when court was called
to order. Dan Wren, Varnell and Farmer
were absent. Chairman Klehm looked
more cheerful than he did several days
ago, and appeared to have recovered from
the deep depression of spiits caused by
the verdict of Judge Shepard's court.

The friendly assault there to be made

the bitterness of strife, the exposure OF
the insincerity which conceals hatred
by professions of kindness, the condemna-
tion of frenzied appeals to passion for un-
worthy purposes, and the beating down OF
all that stands in the way Of the destiny
of our united country. While those who

GENUINE FRATERNITY.
1t surely cannot be wrong to desire the

If you want to find out the true
character of a man get him into a
game of poker. He is bound to
show his true colors there. 1t
does not make any difference
whether he is winner or loser,
he will show himself just as he is
before he gets through. 1t takes a
cool head and lots of nerve to keep
quiet in a game of poker, watch the
players and never be moved by the
jokes, growls and jeers of fellow
players. There are some players
who never know when they are be-
ing whipped around the bush:
These fellows are never satisfied
with the text of the game. If the
ante is twenty-five cents they will
invariably make it seventy-fve
cents when it comes their turn, so
as to make jack pot. But it is
seldom they win one Of these big
pots. Some quiet duck, who had
no hand in the job, will open the
pot with two pair or better, and
then one of the smart Alecks, with
a small pair and an ace, or a bob
tail flush will raise the pot and at
tempt to steal it by reckless bluff,
But he always gets a call, and in
the end finds himself only the
deerper in the hole. And then he
swears, calls the fellow who beats
him a tight-bellied player, and
thinks he is playing in terrible hard
luck. A man who makes it Il prac-
tice of bluffing in a small limit
game, or who invariably comes in
on q small pair when Jackpot is
opened, is nothing short of "a chump.
Put that in your pipe and smoke
it, as it fits a good many of you.
There are some players you never
can satisfy, no matter how you
play; so the only way is to attend
to your own business, keep your
mouth shut and your eyes open,
play your hand for all there is in
It, see that the cards are well shuf-
fled and cut, and when you find a
chronic growler or buffer in the
game, study the game and make
him your meat.

There are seven-separate and dis
tinct ways in which the nuptial
knot may be tied, the attending ex-
pense of the different modes vary
ing from one dollar to one thousand
dollars. The least expensive, and
the one seldom adopted, except in
cases of elopement, is that afforded
by the Justices Office. There a
couple can be firmly united in the
space Of a minute for a small sum.
1t is customary for groom to
dress as he may please when the
marriage is to be performed by a
justice, and a dress-suit would be
sadly out of place in the musty law
Office. The one great advantage OF
the justice shop marriage is its
cheapness.
AS some people object to being
married by justice of the peace,
preferring the sanction of the
Church in addition to that Of the
law, the young people may visit a
parsonage instead of a Justices Of
flee with the same preparation. The
ceremony may be fully as informal
when performed at the ministers

not less than three dollars, and,
better still, five or ten dollars, should
be paid for the service, although
there is no fixed sum charged. The
most popular ceremony among peo-
Pile who do not class themselves as

who do, is quiet home wedding,
where the bride is attired in suit
of plain white or travelling dress,
and the groom in a plain black or
brown business suit, where only a
few friends and relatives are pres

haps modest supper or lunch be-
ing served after the ceremony is
performed, and the entire expense
to the groom being covered by
twenty dollars, or even less. This
is the most popular wedding cere
